The Case for HIPAA Risk Assessments

Description

A comprehensive security risk assessment is an important and necessary strategy for health care organizations in identifying gaps in their privacy and security environments. Though risk assessments alone do not directly mitigate data breaches, they can help to significantly decrease risk exposure by enabling an organization to know exactly where its protected health information resides and how it is handled. This program covers the reasons for a HIPAA risk assessment, explores both HITECH and HIPAA enforcement, and considers real-world examples of mistakes made by covered entities and what it cost them. Designated for 3 contact hours of continuing nursing education.
